interesting Letter from President
Cleveland TO Gen. Weaver on the
Subject.
Executive Mansion, Washington, d. c.,
Oct. %, Hon. j. B. Weaver: Dear Sir
Your letter OF the 25th inst, regarding
the eviction by proceedings in the state
courts OF certain parties from lands in
0'Brien county, has excited my interest
and sympathy. Such results are sure to
bring distress oftentimes upon those en-
tirely innocent, and who ayesettled lands
in entire good faith. / very much
fear there will be much Of this conse.
quent upon the loose and wasteful manner
in which our public domain has been here
tofore managed. / find, Upon consulta-
ton with the secretary oil the interior and
the attorney general, that the cases to
which YOU refer were some time since con-
sfdered by them aud they concluded that
the United States could not interfere in
these controversies, because, in any event,
it's title TO the land was gone; and l
am Obliged TO concur with them in
the opinion that, under these cireuIn-
stances, the United States would have no
standing in the contest, and could demand
do redress for itself. i think with reaec-
ton. YOU will see the difficulty. lam afraid
claiments in these cases might fight out
their respective rights in the sJate courts,
but ] suppose determination thereon may
be submitted 70 the supreme court OF the
Ghited States, upon appeal for final adj
Indication. Ii any legal way can be sug-
gested by which the general government
can aid in the settlement OF questions in-
volying SO much hardship and vexation,
il will be considered. Yours truly,

Gossip Concerning the Anarchists.

SSSSNH ~ ~ Sf'Nt0stSNS
The papers OF Chicago and other places
have been fled for Il week with gossipabout
the anarchists, but thus far the only items
Of general interest were the finding OF the
bombs in Iingy's cell and the attempt of
Engel to commit suicide. They we're care
fully examined and the contents werefound
be to dynamite. All efforts to save Lingg
were abandoned upon finding the bombs.
In addition To swallowing the laud-
anum, Engel said he tool sixteen NOR.
phine pills one night. DIR. Grey was amaz-
ed at this intelligence, but understood why
they proved Intellectual when Engel said he
had the pills ever since be was brought to
the Jail. That was a year and o bali ago,
and long since then the pills ceased to
have any active power. Enget said:
He swallowed the German pills at a gulp
late Friday night and walked his cell all
day Saturday, expecting at any moment
to fall down. When it grew toward
night and the morphine had no effect he
resolved to take the %laudanam. After his
friends left in the evening he poured out
sixaor seven teaspoons OF the poison and
tossed it OFF.
Parsons wrote q long communication,
which he handed to the reporters unsigned.
1t was q most hysterical denunciation Of
the bomb discovery as a pre- arranged
trick Of the condemned mems enemies to
blacken them in the eyes OF the public.

COUNTY EXHIBITS.

The state board of agriculture has
offered the following special premi-
ums for county exhibits: For best
exhibit of cereals, sheaf and shell
grains, 800, S35 and S15 for first,
second and third premiums. As also,
for grasses, (native and cultivated),
the same premium. For best exhibit
OF vegetables (farm and S25 for gar
DEM, $50 and first and second. For
best exhibit of fruits (green) SI00 for
first and $50 for second.
They append the following note
which fully explains the above. The
board, however has made a ruling
that in all cases where the county
courts of the several counties shall
appoint a person to make county
exhibit, that such person shall have
preference In making an entry, that
is provided there be several exhibits
made by as many persons in the
county.
"None Of the foregoing are eligible
to entry in the regular premium list,
and entries must be made by one per.
son and the product grown and col.
lected within the limits OF the county
by the citizens thereof. The commit.
tee will take into consideration quail.
ity, manner OF preparing and varie
ties. This rule is applicable to coun.
ty exhibits of fruits and vegetables
as well as to grains and grasses, and
only one entry in the name OF any
one county shall be allowed and the
exhibits shall be the products of 1887.

EASILY OBVIATED.

The Portland Journal Of Com
merce OF the Doth has an article on
the difficulties besetting an attempt
to make seaport out of an inland
city, and after making divers and sun
dry complaints about existing geo.
graphical circumstances, for which
the Almighty is alone responsible, il
says:
The river towage up and down on a
ship like the MerOm costs about $500
This itself is serious enough to awaken
some modifying action justified by the
circumstances, but when to this is added
a charge of $500 for ighterage, the shiI
has an almost unbearable burden con-
fronting her il coming to our port. Ii
addition to this, the bad state of the
river now involves the use of more than
one tow-boat, and there is only one good
tow-boat working the river at the present
time.
1t is indeed a grave matter, but one
that can be happily and easily over
come. All this terrible towage and
lighterage, ETC., can be obviated 10y
loading and unloading vessels at As
toria, the natural seaport of Oregon
and thus avoiding the tortuous shal
lows between here and Portland, and
the rocks and fogs of that terrible
north coast.

SHOULD BE ACCURATE.

Now that the usual fall shipping
begins, our Portland contemporaries
will have the usual fall editorials. All
The AsToRIAN asks is that you "tote
fair Betsy" 1t is with regret that We
notice in the Portland Journal Of
Commerce of the Goth inst, the fol-
lowing statement in column edito-
rial regarding Portland's tribulations:
$50 for towing a ship like the Meronl
in and out over the bar is much too high,
considering the other charges and the
low freight rates obtainable.
Now, while this does not specifically
say that the charge for towing the
MerOm was $3.50, yet any one reading
the article would, obviously, have the
idea that such a charge had been
made That is, unless he knew differ
emily. AS a matter of fact the charge
for towage of the Merom in and out
over the bar was S425.
The attention of the Journal of
Commerce is gently directed to the
editorial necessity of accuracy in state
ments or implications which it wishes
to have believed.

THE lien law Of this state provides,
among other things, that any boat OF
vessel used in navigating the waters
of the state shall be subject to lien
for all debts due to persons by virtue
of a contract with the owner or agent
thereof "On account of labor done ol
materials furnished by mechanics
tradesmen or others, in the building
repairing, fitting and furnishing ol
equipping such boat or vessel, or OF
account Of stores or supplies furnished
for the use thereof" Judge Deady
of the United States circuit court fol
the district of Oregon, held in the re
cent case of the city Of Salem, thai
the phrase "or others" used in the ac'
did not include a bank with which
the owner of a steamboat kept an ac
count, and which paid the checks oi
the latter drawn in favor of third per
sons in payment of materials fur
nished for the boat. The phrase, th'
court said, was only applicable tc
other persons in the same category o.
calling as mechanics or tradesmen.

In noticing common errors respect
ing the weather, Prof. Cleveland
Able, the distinguished meteorolo-
gist, urges attention to these facts:
That, while the moon might be ex-
pected to influence our weather, scien-
tiic evidence shows that it does not;
that there is no sound reason for be-
lieving that sun-spots have any appre-
ciable effect in producing storms or
other local changes; that animal in
stinct ranks greatly below human in
telligence as a guide to future
weather; that the indications fur
nished by plants are due to the hydro
scopic condition of the air, as are also
other ''signs," and are less delicate
and trustworthy than the accurate in
strumental tests of meteorologists;
that electricity and ozone do
not produce the effects often
ascribed to them; that thunder storms
do not cool the air, but the cool
thrush results, like the storm, from
the rise of hot air,-at least in many
cases; that it has not yet been proven
that the removal of forests and the
extension of railroads and telegraphs
have influenced our climate; that the
weather is materially the same as in
old fashioned times, scientific records

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

There is no use blinking the fact that
even with our river at its best, Puget
sound can and will offer superior III
ducements to shipping.-Eprttdnd jour
nal Of Commerce.
BY what authority, pray, do you
presume to speak? We emphatlcally
protest against your assumption that
because vessels decline to have the
copper dragged off in an attempt to
get to Portland, therefore, you have a
right to talk for the whole river. This
is impertinence on your part. Even
with our river at its best" Puget
sound can't and won't "offer superior
inducements to shipping" 1t can
and will and does offer superior in
ducements to Portland, but it is just
like your impudence to assume, ca
cathedrd, that Portland is the one
only place. OF course it would bt
Portland's policy to have matters sc
arranged that no vessel could entel
the Columbia that could not go tC
Portland, but Portland's policy in thiI
regard is a perpetual quarrel with th'
Creator, with the usual result in strife
of that nature.
Puget sound can offer no superio
inducements to Astoria as shippinI
point, and we beseech our Portlan
boomer OF Tacoma in the Journal o.
Commerce Office not to forget it. L
the meantime in your means and re
grets speak for yourself and don't al
tempt to include Astoria in your dis
NAL complaint.
